With this camera it is unlikely that anyone would use the jpegs straight out of the camera. Even so, it is interesting to take a look at what you’d get if you chose to use them for a quick post or perhaps you’re working with a device that does not support the Quattro’s raw X3F […]

Although this is a place I like to share thoughts mainly around the hobby of photography, sometimes cycling related topics come up.

After just a few conversions I have to say that I am really impressed and it broadens the Quattro’s usability. These files were all […]

The Sigma has been in my hands for just over a month now and I’ve had a chance to shoot it in a number of conditions to expose its strengths and weaknesses. This will be the first part in a number of reviews on this unique camera. My impression of the DP1Q after nearly 1000 […]
